"You wait here and rest easy."

With that, Su Mu leaped into the spring, preparing to unearth its greatest opportunity.

That was to take away the corpses of the two Dragon Kings beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, both of whom had been close to God King level.

His Creator Spirit Soul was a legendary Martial Soul capable of creating worlds.

In the future, Su Mu wanted to create a world or a plane of his own.

He would establish the headquarters of the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion there, connecting the myriad realms and holding regular auctions to acquire treasures from countless worlds and exchange them for Luck Value.

Otherwise, relying on the single plane of Douluo alone would likely not be sustainable in the long term.

After all, the treasures of one plane were limited. After unrestricted auctioning and plundering, all the wealth of the Douluo Continent would eventually gather within the Auction Pavilion.

Those without foresight would inevitably face immediate worries. Though that day was still far away,

Su Mu still had to make long-term plans.

Most importantly, the system highly approved of this plan.

That only further strengthened Su Mu's confidence.

After entering the spring, Su Mu did not expand his Creator Domain. Instead, he compressed it tightly, maintaining only enough to wrap around himself.

Otherwise, the larger the area it covered, the more Soul Power it consumed.

At the same time, Su Mu released his Mental Power and sensed the conditions at the bottom of the spring.

Unexpectedly, even with Su Mu's current Level 99 Mental Power, he could not thoroughly investigate the entire spring.

However, that did not deter him from continuing his descent.

Five meters.

Ten meters.

Fifteen meters.

By the time he reached twenty meters, Su Mu could feel the amount of Soul Power needed to maintain the Creator Domain increasing.

The fifteen-meter depth should not be underestimated. With every meter he descended, the pressure exerted by the spring water became greater.

Su Mu estimated that over those fifteen meters, his Soul Power consumption had increased more than threefold.

Fortunately, Su Mu was not only a genuine Level 99 Peerless Douluo, but also had several restorative Pills stored in the system space.

So he was in no hurry.

Su Mu could also feel the temperature around him changing drastically. The increasing strength of the ice and fire attributes was precisely what caused the increased consumption of Soul Power.

Su Mu estimated that with every meter he descended, the fire-attributed spring water rose by one hundred degrees, while the ice-attributed spring water dropped to -273 degrees and ceased changing any further.

Su Mu could not help recalling a piece of obscure trivia.

The highest temperature in the universe was 140 quintillion quintillion degrees, while the lowest was only -273.15°C.

In other words, -273 degrees was absolute zero, an insurmountable limit.

However, while the lowest temperature no longer changed, Su Mu could clearly feel that after descending thirty meters, the ice and fire attributes affected not only his body's surface, but penetrated deep into his soul.

That was with the protection of the Creator Domain. Without it, there was likely no one on the entire Douluo Continent capable of descending to such a depth.

Not even the three Peerless Douluo could do it.

Su Mu could not help marveling at the strength of the two Dragon Kings. Even after being dead for so many years, the unconscious aura emitted by their corpses alone could create such a terrifying environment.

Time drifted by. Within the spring water, time itself seemed to have stopped, and Su Mu no longer remembered how long he had been descending.

When he had used up more than half his Soul Power, Su Mu took out a pill about the size of a soybean from the system space and swallowed it to restore his Soul Power.

He did so as casually as if he were eating candy.

If anyone else saw this, they would surely cry out that he was wasteful...

This was too brutal, too extravagant!

But it could not be helped. Being rich really was this invincible...

About two more hours later, Su Mu sensed two dragon skeletons appear before him—one entirely crimson, the other snowy white.

Their heads and tails connected, they nestled together like a yin-yang fish.

When his feet touched the soft soil, Su Mu knew he had reached the bottom.

Only then could he see the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings in their entirety.

Huge.

Far too huge.

They were each over a hundred meters long, and a single rib was nearly as tall as Su Mu.

Like prehistoric beasts, they gave one an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

There was probably no Soul Tool on the entire Douluo Continent capable of holding the remains of these two dragons.

Fortunately, with the system's help, none of that was a problem.

"System, help me collect the dragon remains."

Rest assured, esteemed host. The Myriad Realms Auction System is at your service.

Before the words had even faded, a ray of light enveloped the two dragon skeletons. A few seconds later, the enormous remains vanished without a trace.

Within the system space, Su Mu saw the two dragon skeletons that had suddenly appeared there.

At the same time, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes underwent an earth-shaking change.

First, with the disappearance of the dragon remains, the spring water began to churn violently. Like the calm before a raging storm, it grew more and more intense.

The original scorching heat and bitter cold also gradually faded away.

Just as Su Mu was about to leave, he suddenly noticed two jade-like objects glowing nearby.

Could they be soul bones?

Su Mu could not help thinking of it.

The Dragon Clan's God Kings were also soul beasts.

When they died, they could produce soul rings and drop soul bones.

During the era of The Legendary Shrek Academy, the Mountain Dragon King's Torso Bone Tang Wulin obtained after entering the Dragon Tomb and witnessing the Thousand Days Burial of Dragons was enough to prove that.

In theory, Dragon Clan God Kings could indeed drop soul rings and soul bones.

The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had been buried here, so it was reasonable for them to leave behind two God Level soul bones.

"System, what are those?"

Ding! Detected God Level soul bones: Ice Dragon King's Right Palm Bone and Fire Dragon King's Left Leg Bone.

Outside the spring.

Dugu Bo watched the churning spring anxiously.

Having cultivated Spirit Medicine here to suppress his poison, he had the greatest authority when it came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

The two extreme forces within it made even him, a Titled Douluo, unwilling to remain for too long.

Ever since he had discovered it more than ten years ago, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes had always remained calm, without the slightest change.

This sudden turbulence in the spring water, along with the shifting temperature, had to be related to Pavilion Master Su Mu.

He was somewhat worried that Pavilion Master Su Mu might be inside...

Then, seeing Daji's calm expression,

he smiled and felt that he was worrying needlessly.

With methods comparable to those of a god, Pavilion Master Su Mu naturally had made foolproof preparations.

Sure enough, a figure flew out from the spring. It was Su Mu.

"Dugu Bo, I have taken the dragon remains from this place. The spiritual energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes will gradually weaken with the passage of time."

"However, even its remaining spiritual energy is still extremely formidable. Continue guarding the immortal herbs here."

"Once all the spiritual energy has dissipated, I will come to harvest the immortal herbs," Su Mu instructed.

"Please rest assured, Lord Su Mu. I will certainly complete the task." Dugu Bo had already gone numb inside. It almost seemed abnormal if Su Mu did not leave him shocked.

Though he did not understand everything, he gathered from Su Mu's words that the dragon remains he had taken away were likely the reason for the spring's extraordinary nature.

"Daji, let's go."

"Yes, Master."

The next moment, Su Mu crushed two Teleportation Scrolls. Blue light appeared, and the two of them stepped into it.
